Acknowledgments
I take this opportunity to thank Ken Hoober and Bob Wise for their outstanding and painstaking editorial work for this volume. I also thank Brian Gunning and Friederike Koenig for their excellent contributions to the “Dedication,” and most importantly to all other 55 authors of volume 23: without their authoritative chapters, there would be no such volume.
I owe special thanks to Jacco Flipsen, Noeline Gibson and Andre´ Tournois (of Springer) and Arvind Sohal (of Techbooks, New Delhi, India) for their friendly working relation with us that led to the production of this book. Thanks are also due to Jeff Haas (Director of Information Technology, Life Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, UIUC) and Evan De Lucia (Head, Department of Plant Biology, UIUC) for their support. Larry Orr constantly provides us with guidance regarding the rules and the format of our Series that started in 1994. All the members of my immediate family (my wife Rajni Govindjee; our daughter Anita, her husband Morten Christiansen, and our granddaughter Sunita; our son Sanjay, his wife Marilyn, and our grandsons Arjun and Rajiv) have been very supportive during the preparation of this and other books in the AIPH Series.
